Three new articles by CNTR scientists have been published in the issue on new technologies in war in the journal Wissenschaft & Frieden.

“Arms by Everyone? Non-State Production of Military Technology for Ukraine,” written by Liska Suckau, looks at civilian willingness to support Ukraine through arms production and questions the consequences and dangers of this development.

Christian Reuter, along with Jonas Franken, Anja-Liisa Krichbaum, Marie Gregor & Marc-André Kaufhold, in the article “Vulnerable Critical Infrastructures: Perspectives on Resilience in Cyber, Drone, and Undersea Cable Attacks,” uses current research at the PEASEC Chair of TU Darmstadt to show how critical infrastructures are increasingly becoming targets of hybrid threats—and how resilience can be strengthened beyond military deterrence.

Kadri Reis discusses the security policy dimension of biotechnology in the article "Designing Biology, Ensuring Peace: AI Protein Tools, Dual-Use Research, and the Future of Biological Arms Control." The use of artificial intelligence is changing the speed, scale, and accessibility of biological design – with far-reaching consequences for biological arms control.

All three contributions are connected by the question of how modern technologies affect peace and security alike – and what control and protective measures are needed for that.
